Biden is facing political pressure from both sides of the aisle ahead of a November election clash with Donald Trump, with pro-Gaza student protests roiling US campuses, while Republicans have been increasingly critical of Israel. Accusing them of failing to support.

The White House declined to comment on whether the United States might retaliate against the ICC, including sanctions, if the United States targeted Israel.

In 2020, the administration of then-President Donald Trump targeted the ICC with sanctions over its investigation in Afghanistan, but the Biden administration later lifted them.

However, Washington's ambiguous position on the court is reflected in the fact that it has supported the ICC's effort to prosecute Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that the United States “will continue” to assist the ICC in its investigation into alleged war crimes in Ukraine, despite condemning Israel's move.
